Midvale’s July 4th Theme “Right to Bear Arms”
It will be a noisy July 4th celebration in Midvale. Besides the annual BBQ, the Swim Pool board is running a gun raffle with the winner receiving a Tikka T3x .223 Rifle with Vortex Venom Scope donated by Andy Butler with Force360. There will also be a chance to win a Custom 6.5 Grendel AR, Burris Scope, Leopold Binoculars and a Knife from Montana Knife Company.
The patriotic parade, celebrating American’s 250th birthday, will line up at the high school and will wind through town at 11:00 a.m. This is a bit earlier than in previous years.
BBQ will be served at 11:30 in the park. Salads and desserts are welcome from the community. Last names A-M please bring salad and N-Z bring dessert. It’s always a good idea to bring lawn chairs so you can sit in the shade afterwards and visit with neighbors you haven’t seen in ages. The pool board posted, “We want to give a big thank you to Roe’s Custom Meats for their outstanding pork donation to this year’s 4th of July BBQ! You can expect mouth-watering pulled pork sandwiches that will make this year’s event unforgettable.”
Afternoon events include the Duck Raffle at 1:00 p.m. in the pool, Gun Raffle at 2:00 p.m. in the park, Chicken Scramble at 3:00 p.m. in Veterans Park, and free swimming 1-7:00 p.m..
Bring your wallet to support the pool with the following prizes: BBQ $10 and kids $5; gun raffle tickets $10 each, 6 for $50, 12 for $100 or 25 for $200; and duck raffle tickets $5 each.
